What i hate about wordpress, is when you go to edit your categories (and in case you have a lot of categories), they are all mixed up. I usually sort my cats on the website by ID, so that’s what i want in the wp-admin as well. I searched my ass off to get this functionality. So here is the trick:
Update: In Wordpress 2.3.1 go to wp-admin/edit-pages.php to line 67, which should look like this:
<?php
wp("post_type=page&orderby=menu_order&what_to_show=posts$post_status_q
&posts_per_page=-1&posts_per_archive_page=-1&order=asc");
Now change it to the following:
<?php
wp("post_type=page&orderby=ID&what_to_show=posts$post_status_q
&posts_per_page=-1&posts_per_archive_page=-1&order=asc");
Would be splendid if WP would give us an option to choose sort order via drop-down box!
